ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study examined the effects of physical activity prescription (PAP) in patients after gastric bypass surgery. Patients' physical activity (PA) levels and outcomes were followed over their first postoperative year.METHODS:
Patients slated for bariatric surgery were randomized to a control group (n = 64) (basic information about postoperative PA) or an intervention group (n = 57) (also received physical therapist-prescribed PAP). Outcome measures were self-reported PA/exercise and sedentary time; and weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood lipids; recorded pre-operatively and at 2, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Follow-ups were conducted by nurses/dieticians. Trial registration "Research and Development in Sweden" number 107371.RESULTS:
There were no differences between the groups except for higher level of PA (579 vs. 182 minutes/week) six months after surgery (p = .046) and a larger decrease in cholesterol (-24 vs. -8%) after a year (p = .017) in the intervention group. Patients in both groups lost considerable weight, had reduced waist circumference, and increased PA (p < .001).CONCLUSION:
Although marked differences between groups were not observed over one year, the intervention group increased its PA 6-months postoperatively, but not at other time points. Whether long-term outcomes of PAP use are more robust with physical therapist participation across follow-ups warrants study.Palavras-chave
